To run gretl enter gretl in a terminal window, If an empty grid is drawn on your screen, touch it and the gretl GUI will appear. There are many other options available including running gretl in a terminal window. Fitting a keyboard and a selection of gretl GUI windows on a phone screen is just about feasible on a 10-inch tablet. I would not recommend using the gretl GUI on a phone. I do like the way gretl results are presented in a variety of windows. Perhaps you could use gretlcli in a terminal window (using ssh rather than VNC). I have used octave in this way on a phone. Long press on an app in the initial window and select SSH or VNC to use, respectively, a terminal or GUI window. The help system explains the terms apps, sessions, and filesystems.
